The Lord is mustering an army for the Day of the Lord

Isaiah 13:4 - The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a
great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered
together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

Yesterday I was very happy to speak to someone on my way back from
service. This girl (young woman - I could not help but remember her as
the little girl in school with twinkle in her eyes) was sharing how
she came out of the Catholic Church. I asked her if someone told her
to come out like another believer. She said no and shared her
testimony.

As a young girl she was passionate of the Word of God and would sit
and study it, as she kept reading and the Lord opened her mind to
understand it she realized what the Catholic Church practiced was
contradictory to the Word and thus she came out. I was happy to know
someone who came out like I did with direct guidance from the Lord not
man. Today she is getting her other family members and close ones out.

The Word of God says He would bring this institute down in 1 hour and
is mustering His army together for that job. The people of this church
are just victims of this institute; they are not the problem so we
need to help them by enlightening them.

Like I told you last Sunday the Lord gave an understanding of the turn
of events, although since February I have been told to warn the people
about the coming of the Day of the Lord - the day when He vents His
anger against this institute which has been the cause of many martyrs
death. Most people think that people died as martyrs in this institute
but people are not aware that it was this Church that killed thousands
of Christians who failed to follow its ideology and the one of the
main reasons people moved to America when it was discovered, was to
escape from the atrocities of this institute in Europe.

This Day of the Lord is not happening this year or next year, but yet
the Lord is speaking through me and many such people so as to start
this process which will happen in the coming year. Before this Day
comes there is going to be great destructions and deaths. You got time
to start thinking seriously if you are still a part of this institute
not just to save your own self but also become a part of the Lord’s
army that gets the job done.


[Prayer starter]
Lord, we thank You for in your mercy You opened our eyes to this
mischief played by the evil one. Lord, give us the courage, wisdom and
anointing by which we can be bold and effective in saving your sheep
from the hold of the wolf dressed as a shepherd...

We make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.


[Reference Scriptures]
Isaiah 13:1-9
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto
them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty
ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great
people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered
together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the
LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a
destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of
them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be
amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and
fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the
sinners thereof out of it.

Revelation 6:7-11
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the
fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him
was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them
over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the
souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the
testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy
and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell
on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said
unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their
fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they
were, should be fulfilled.

Revelation 18:4-10;17-20
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my
people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not
of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her
iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double
according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her
double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much
torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a
queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning,
and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is
the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and
lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when
they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas,
that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy
judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every
shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as
trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What
city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing,
saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that
had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is
she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets;
for God hath avenged you on her.

Beware of the Scribes
Luke 20:45-47
45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his
disciples,
46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and
love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the
synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long
prayers: the
same shall receive greater damnation.
Scribes are not limited to the unbeliever churches just because
they
wear white robes. Today we have scribes also in believer
churches.
Scribe implies here to a religious official. What will amuse you is
the Greek word comes from the root which mean 'letter'. These
people
like the name's root are those who follow the letter. They really do
not have an understanding of what the letter means or its purpose
and
if they are in the right path or not. They will just follow it
irrespective of what it says, because their senior has told them to
do
so.
Doing this, their hearts harden and instead of the Lord's glory
progressing them, they use different media management and other
PR
methods to their expansion. Like Jesus said their speeches are
long
but they themselves will hardly follow what they themselves say.
Their
words and actions go at 180 degrees.
I know of many Pastors who's favorite topic to preach on (which
they
regularly do without fail) is tithing. The biggest nightmare for them
is when their fat cows (those who tithe more) go to other
congregations. To the extent some of them openly warn their
people
from going to other congregations. And in case it is too much for
them
to stop they even tell them 'okay you can go there or anywhere
else
but make sure you put your tithes here'.
I confronted one Pastor on tithing, this gave him the chills and he
landed warning the other Pastors about me.
It is not that they take the money home or misuse it fully. You will
understand the reason behind this when you come to know of their
numbers game.
For example, if a new family of husband, wife along with their 2
small
kids, say of 1 and 3 years respectively register in their
congregation
then they will count them as 4 believers! Come on, can you count
the 1
year and 3 year old children as believer members of the
congregation?
Their books show their congregation numbers as 700 but the
people who
regularly attend are hardly 50-100, as far as the tithes from the
others come they are not concern if they come for service once a
year
or not at all. The numbers registered is very important because
this
helps them to keep their status high between other Pastors. The
tithes
are mostly used to conduct events on grand scale so as to further
their status among other Pastors / in the ministry.
In God's Kingdom quality is give higher importance then quantity.
You
may have thousands of members in the congregation, but how
rooted and
mature are they in the Word? A congregation of 25 rooted in the
Word
will please God more than a congregation of 2500 just calling
themselves believers.
(Please note I do not want you to stop your tithing even if your
Pastor is one from this category. Understand you are not giving to
man
but to God what is due to Him. About your Pastor, do pray that God
intervenes in his life and set things right in His grace and not in
His anger.)

[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, we pray for those You have set to lead others. Lord,
we
ask You to intervene in their lives and set things according to your
Kingdom. That they fulfill their duties as true watchmen set on the
wall. Lord we pray that You operate in the grace You made
available
through Jesus Christ...
This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference scriptures]
Isaiah 56:8-11
8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet
will
I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in
the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb
dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and
they
are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own
way,
every one for his gain, from his quarter.

Unclean spirits problem

Mark 5:1,2 - And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into
the country of the Gadarenes. And when he was come out of the ship,
immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean
spirit,

Sometimes people struggle and struggle with a problem even over years
also but are unable to overcome. At times these problems are such
nothing can be done by them other than someone delivering them,
because they are rooted to an unclean spirit.

Please understand all evil is rooted to evil spirits but does not mean
all are possessed. There are 3 different states:-

First case is when evil spirits uses our flesh (carnal self) to infect
problems into our lives; this is the state most of the time. In these
cases taking control of the flesh solves the problem.

Second case is when evil spirits externally torments people and causes
problems, such cases does happen some times. In such cases by worship,
prayer and fasting by that person, he or she can get rid of these
problems.

Third case is when the evil spirit takes hold of the inner man of the
person and created problems, these cases are very rare. In these cases
that person cannot do anything another person with authority is
required to solve this problem by delivering him or her.

When Jesus told his disciples who failed to deliver the young boy from
his tormenter, He said by fasting and praying such can be handled. He
did not tell the person who was having the problem to fast and pray
but to them who were handling the case to do so. He was pointing to
the lack of faith in them which did not allow them to handle this
problem.

Fasting and praying builds faith and faith bring one into realization
of authority and it is only by authority that such cases can be
solved. When Jesus said praying here it did not mean request prayer.
Most understand prayer as request prayer. When Jesus did the greatest
miracles He never made a request prayer, His prayers was either a
declaration prayer or grateful prayer. Such prayers are prayers of
faith.

The words translated as 'thank' in English are two Greek words -
'exomologeo' <1843> and 'charis' <5485> which means 'to declare /
confess' and 'to be grateful' respectively. Both these are prayers of
faith (there is another thanks which is connected to feeling - self
gratitude).

Prayers of request are done by those when the person does not know
God, what God has already given or provided, is asking for something
not according to God's will or is having problems communicating with
the Lord. Jesus did make such a prayer only once that was when He was
very weak in spirit and that was just before His crucifixion.

Worshiping God is also referred as prayers and is prayers of declaring
and gratefulness which should be done not sometimes but unceasingly.

We all are weak some or other time in our lives and do make requesting
prayers, but being always weak in spirit is a matter of concern.

Let us build our faith at we may understand the authority which Jesus
Christ has given is so that we bind the evil spirits which are
tormenting the people of God.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, we thank You for You. You gave us authority over sickness,
weakness and over unclean spirits. Lord, help us build our faith so
that we realize the authority we carry and by this authority we help
your people who are tormented by them...

This prayer we make in Your Mighty Name, Amen.


[Reference scriptures]
Matthew 17:15-21
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed:
for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him
hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the
child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we
cast him out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I
say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall
say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall
remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Do not wear strange clothes
Zephaniah 1:8 - And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S
sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children,
and all such as are clothed with strange [foreign] apparel.
The biggest problem in teaching people with half or little knowledge
of the Bible is when they use the word 'doctrine'. No doubt this word
safeguards the people from being mislead but more than being mislead
this word had ensured people do not grow in understanding and learning
new things about the Kingdom of God.
If one really goes to the roots of understanding the Bible, everything
is so well connected and everything has inbuilt checks by which any
misleading person can be immediately caught. Understand this is not
man who authored this book but God.
About the mischief makers coming with intentional misleading
understandings of the Bible; if you realize all rubbish had already
existed since the time of Babylon. Any weird or wildest concept you
can think of has been already tried before and only keeps coming back
with a new face or name. The biggest games which are misleading the
maximum number of people has been already tried before, written and
warned about in the Bible. If only people read it they will realize
and be saved.
Therefore 'false doctrine' is nothing but induction of foreign
cultures, understandings, practices etc. into what God has instructed,
that is the reason the Lord uses the word 'foreign apparel'.
Joseph before being renewed use to wear strange (wild colorful)
clothes and the Lord had to take him through a testimony to renew him
and get rid of his strange clothes before putting on royal clothes on
him. This happened with him because although he had strange clothes on
but his heart was good (the Lord was seated on the throne of his heart
and his character/nature was like a child of God).
Understand all of us however anointed or learned we are in the Bible -
Word of God; we all are infected with some level misunderstanding of
scriptures. Just to give a personal account; from the time the Lord
started teaching me and I started writing which was about 3 to 4 years
back, today I see a great level of change in what I knew and I know.
Many of my teachings I had to change and need to change.
Is it that they were or are wrong and misleading? No.
Even though at that time they were the best the Lord could disclose to
me because my basic foundation was not build. Understanding does not
come only by reading and studying. When the Lord teaches He builds you
in character so that the precious understanding of His Kingdom hold in
you.
What I know today, I know is still not the perfect since I still have
many questions yet not answered, but I know I am walking in the right
direction because I counter check with the Word and experience the
Lord taking me in my everyday life.
For example about 2 years back I wrote about the end times. Although I
wrote many pages yet in my heart I still had many questions not
answered. Just last Sunday I was asked to take on this matter at my
Bible session and the Lord opened my mind and made clear many of those
questions very simply so much so that even my students had no queries
on the fall of events.
Those whose hearts are not set right in the Lord will get more
confusion entering it than real understanding. Like Jesus said check
the tree and you will know what kind of fruit you can expect. However
wise words any person speaks but if his ways are not wise then one day
that person will be the reason your plane will crash (you cannot blame
that person alone for out of your own will you allowed him to take
charge of your plane).
Today's message is a serious warning to all God's children about
wearing strange clothes. If you want to get rid of it set your heart
right by straightening your ways of life according to the Lord and
setting your priorities right according to the Kingdom of God.
I do not want to just scare you but to wake you up for since some time
we have seen great disasters but these are just the start. What will
give you the jitters is the figure of the number of people who are
going to die in the days to come.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord God, You are a merciful God. Since You love your children and are
jealous (possessive) of them and You will not let anything to harm
them, including they themselves. You are slow to anger but one day
your anger does shake all that which is not of your Kingdom. Lord we
pray the grace of Jesus Christ abode in the hearts of your children
and set right their inner man according to Jesus Christ...
This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference Scriptures]
Genesis 23:3-5
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was
the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all
his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they
hated him yet the more.
Genesis 41:42-43
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon
Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a
gold chain about his neck;
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and
they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all
the land of Egypt.
Revelation 6:8
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him
was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them
over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Matthew 7:17-20
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 3:9-10
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our
father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise
up children unto Abraham.
10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore
every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast
into the fire.

It is a privilege to serve; to break bread
Luke 22:27 - For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he
that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he
that serveth.
There are still many who think people should be grateful to them for
breaking the Word to them, the teaching them about the Kingdom of God,
guiding them in their spiritual life and helping in their earthly
life. These people will never grow in the Lord and will in later part
of their life lose a lot.
Please understand it is a privilege to be able to serve other, when we
do that we get to be like Jesus. Jesus after He resurrected told
Cleopas and his colleague as they were walking in the wilderness, all
about Himself of those amazing hidden things in the books of Moses,
but yet they did not know Him. It was only when they broke bread their
eyes opened and they understood all that they were told.
When Jesus broke bread He did it before His death. He said this is His
Body (which we are a part of). He said it is His flesh; that does not
mean literal flesh but what flesh symbolizes. Flesh symbolizes earthly
life. Jesus broke His earthly life for us not just on the crucifix but
from the day He came on earth. Every day and every moment there was
only one though and one agenda on His mind His mission - which is to
save us.
When we break bread we should realize we being part of Jesus that
break symbolize us which we need to break like Jesus did. When we
break bread and if no one else is there we can share this broken bread
what benefit is the breaking of bread? Therefore we should bless that
person with whom we can share our broken bread.
So let us like Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy thank (be grateful to)
God every day for those He has given us to lead and serve.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, if we need to carry our CROSS and follow You then we need
to serve like You did. Lord we pray that You work our hearts that we
humble ourselves to be servers so that we be blessed more in Your
Kingdom, when You come in glory...
This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference Scriptures]
Luke 24:13-31
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called
Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and
reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these
that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto
him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the
things which are come to pass there in these days?
19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him,
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and
word before God and all the people:
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be
condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed
Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these
things were done.
22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished,
which were early at the sepulchre;
23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had
also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and
found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all
that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto
them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he
made as though he would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward
evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread,
and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out
of their sight.
Luke 22:19
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks [be grateful to], and brake it,
and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you:
this do in remembrance of me.
John 6:51
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat
of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give
is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
2 Thessalonians 1:1-4
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the
Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet,
because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every
one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your
patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye
endure:

Hardening of the heart
Lamentations 3:15 - He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me
drunken with wormwood [means to curse].
In the Bible we have seen God hardens the heart of a person and leads
that person to disasters, sometimes even in the worst situations the
Lord changes a person's heart and saves him and sometimes without any
event a person has been renewed in the heart. Why and on what basis
does this happen?
It is very important to understand the different sections of the heart
(inner man) because on these are based the decisions of the Lord.
The two most important parts of the inner man that the Lord looks at
is the Throne / Priority area if it is the Kingdom of God is seated on
it or it is the worldly kingdom seated or is the evil kingdom that is
seated. If it is the evil kingdom, God will harden this heart further
and bring this being to destruction so as to make a testimony of
him/her.
If it is God's Kingdom then there are high chances that nothing much
will happen and the person will be saved from his/her situations
seamlessly. In few cases the second area (Nature / Character) is taken
into consideration if that person's problems elongate a little longer
or not.
If the worldly kingdom is seated on the throne then higher chances are
there will be greater shaking, now how much will depend on the Nature
/ Character of the person.
What builds the Nature or Character of a person is the fruit(s) in
that person. The more the fruit(s) the more perfect the Character is
ands lesser the problems.
The safest way to keep one's self far from problems is to take care of
these two areas; make sure to love God and His Kingdom more than
anything so that His Kingdom is always seated on our Thrones. Second
important precaution to take is to build ourselves in the fruit(s) of
the Holy Spirit so that our Nature is more and more perfect, more and
more like Jesus Christ. When these two areas are worked on there are
very less changes of one getting into much problems, because
automatically the other sections also come under control.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord, we pray that You guard our hearts that we do not lose it to this
world nor to the evil one. Lord, help us by your Spirit to build
ourselves in the fruit of the Holy Spirit so that we do not experience
much problems in our lives...
This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.
[Reference Scriptures]
Romans 9:17-23
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I
raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name
might be published abroad in all the earth.
18 So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardeneth.
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who
withstandeth his will?
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the
thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?
21 Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump
to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power
known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto
destruction:
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels
of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,

This plane is surely going to crash keep your parachute on

Zephaniah 1:2 - "I will completely remove all things From the face of
the earth,” declares the Lord.

In the night as we go to sleep as usual I tell my daughter stories
from the Bible or Bible related stories. One day I was telling her
what I had heard from a preacher who's session I landed attending some
days back unexpectedly when I went to meet him; it was about the
airplane and the parachute.

There were 2 men who went to board a plane and both were given a
parachute each. The first was told the parachute was good and he
should keep it. So he put on the parachute and sat on his seat, since
the parachute took some portion of the seat he was not comfortable.
Initially he bore the discomfort but soon he could not tolerate it, so
he removed it and kept it under his seat and sat comfortably.

The second was told the parachute is very critical for his life, if he
removes it and the plane crashes he will lose his life if the
parachute is not on. So this man too sat on a seat with the parachute
on. He too faced discomfort because of the parachute, but he loved his
life and did not want to lose it, so he tolerated the discomfort but
did not remove the parachute.

At the end I asked my 4 year old daughter if the plane crashed
suddenly who will be saved. She did not hesitate in saying the man
with the parachute on.

The world and all this physical creation is like the airplane, we are
the travelers and the Word of God is the parachute we need to save
ourselves, those who abide with the Word and the ones who wear the
parachute.

People will say I will not live till that time so why should I worry?

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ please understand even if we
are far from the end day - the day of Judgment when Jesus Christ will
come with His Angels and destroy all who did not believe in Him and
those who refuse to abide by His Gospel (not just the New Testament
but the Old Testament too). This whole physical creation including
this whole universe will like a bad dream will be destroyed in fire.
Those who are His sheep will enter with Him into Heaven. This day is
just 2 moments away from you and me even if it is hundreds of years
away. The first moment is our dead and second when we resurrect to be
judged on that day.

You and I do not know when we will die so this moment is any where
round the corner for us. When I asked my daughter if she will remove
her parachute she said "NO". If she can understand this then we too
should be prepared by keeping our parachutes always on by abiding in
the Word.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, we were created not to perish but to be blessed in your
glory, when You come again and bring us unto our eternal home which is
Heaven. Lord, since years man has been deceived in understanding about
the end days and about your Kingdom. Lord, open the eyes of your
people that they may see the Truth and by your grace be saved...

This prayer we make in your Mighty Name, Amen.


[Reference Scriptures]
John 1:16-17
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

John 5:28-29
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that
are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.

2 Thessalonians 1:4-12
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your
patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye
endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye
may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation
to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall
be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and
that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the
presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be
admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was
believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count
you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his
goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you,
and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus
Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:50-54
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for
the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Journeying through life stages

Acts 27:7,8 - And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were
come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under
Crete, over against Salmone; And, hardly passing it, came unto a place
which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

We read in Acts about this sea journey which Paul took as a prisoner
and reached Rome to be set free. This event takes nearly a good 2
chapters of the 28 chapters' documentation, which Luke did in Acts.
This event is more than what human eyes can see and human intelligence
can understand. Another journey similar to this is the journey of
Jonah; just yesterday I learnt an altogether awesome understanding of
that journey, I always though and was told that Jonah was running away
from his task out of fear. It is only when one goes into the historic
details would one understand what Jonah was up to.

Coming to today's message, like I told you almost all the names in the
Bible (of people, places and gods / God) I have come across have been
with reason of understanding the spiritual background.

Here we read Paul travelled as follow:-
1) Come over against Cnidus
2) Sailed under Crete
3) Over against Salome
4) Came unto Fair Heaven near to a city of Lasea

If I put the meanings into place instead of the name the journey
changes in something awesome.

Here we read the journey as follow:-
1) Come over against offense
2) Sailed under fleshiness (Carnal behavior)
3) Over against Salome (Clothed which symbolizes Self Righteousness here)
4) Came unto Fair Heaven ( Beautiful Heaven - Kingdom of God)
near to a city of Lasea (Hairy which symbolizes Full of Grace)

This is the journey we all need to take to reach Beautiful Heavens.
When we come across offense we need to pass by it not halting at or
spending anytime there. Another stage which we need to overcome is our
fleshy nature or carnal nature. Most people halt at this location
because many nature their own desires more than the desires of God.
They sometimes whitewash their carnal desires in with religion using
the Name of God whole not knowing Him. One of the greatest hurdles
which all have to overcome on their way to Beautiful Heaven is this
place called Self Righteousness. Self Righteousness is one of the
greatest enemies of most anointed Persons of God.

When I was growing in the Lord and I saw the naked self righteousness
of a much anointed person of God I was warned by the Lord not to
confront that person at that time or I would be torn apart by that
person.

Even today I am careful when confronting the nakedness of anointed
person of God especially when it is self righteousness.

It is only when we overcome these three stages of our spiritual life
we will reach our destination Beautiful Heaven which is in the
neighborhood of Grace.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, we pray that our journey be full of grace so that we
overcome the three stages of test. We are overcomers because we have
the Truth is us and Truth is always victorious. Lord, You are Truth so
open our eyes through your Spirit of discernment at we may see the
real world...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

Problems in the life of an anointed man

2 Chronicles 30:2 - For the king had taken counsel, and his princes,
and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the
second month.

Before I come to today's message let me explain the background. In the
times before Jesus Christ there were two distinct lines of anointed
people one was the priestly line and the other kingly line. Those
called to be kings were to do their work of authority in this world
but were not allowed the works of the priest. Even wearing the Ephod
was taboo and that angered God. The only kings before Jesus were King
Melchizedek and King David who were exceptions, but entering the Holy
of Holy was still out of boundary even for them.

It was only in Jesus Christ that these two lines came together. Jesus
is the first one who is called a King (King of King) and Priest (Chief
High Priest). We who are His disciples today also have both these line
in us of royalty and priesthood.

Hezekiah is one of the most beautiful examples in the Bible of how an
anointed person can get into problems. Hezekiah was blessed and
prospered by the Lord for his heart was good and he walked with the
Lord. The Lord protected him from many great dangers and blessed him
in all that he did.

Hezekiah is a landmark in the Bible and to this world, because of his
testimony time was altered (10mins were added unto time) and even
today the world is witness to this event. Today when calculating time,
Hezekiah's event and Joshua’s event needs to taken into account to get
the perfect account of time.

Hezekiah's problems started when people started bring him gifts along
with giving gifts to the House of the Lord. It was after this that he
felt sick and Isaiah was called to pray for him.

Serious problem do not just come in the life of anointed men. I am not
saying problems will not come in fact many problems will come in the
life of anointed men but they will not stand, but when they do stand
then that person need to search in his or her heart to find the root
of this problem.

When the glory of God is seen in an anointed person, people will come
and alone with glorifying God they will also shower some on the
anointed person. It is when that showered praises goes into the head
of the person then problems start into the life of that person.

In my short life in the Lord I have seen quite a few live examples of
great anointed persons fall due to this reason. People will come and
praise you when you bless others but do not let these praises go to
your head. When you start putting yourself to be glorified along with
the Lord it is time you wake up to the testimony of Hezekiah. Hezekiah
was healed by the mercy of God but he still paid a very heavy price,
his generations had to suffer.

Right from the start the Lord kept me humble and even before I start
my ministering I was instructed to keep my name far from my
activities. Since I followed this it has helped me to concentrate on
the Lord and not on people. I did face a many problems due to this but
yet I did follow the instructions. Even my own blood sister (in
Mumbai) received my mails forwarded from someone else (from Bangalore)
and did not know that I was writing them.

Understand we should do all things to glorify God like Jesus did as
man on earth. If we glorify ourselves then we will lose a great share
of the glory of Jesus Christ when He comes again.

Our God is God and no problem is so great that it can stand before
Him. If we can pray and change people’s lives, heal them by just
laying our hands, prosper tem by a small prayer, change history when
we lift our hands up unto our God; then why do we suffer in our
personal lives? Is our God not there for us? We are supposed to be the
most loved of the Lord; does it please God to see us suffer?

It is time we see in our heart and set things to order or God will
intervene and do that work through problems.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, You were a perfect example when You were man on earth. You
showed in ever action that all You did was to glorify the Father.
Lord, mold our hearts and the hearts of your loved ones so that they
become like your heart a perfect heart. Take charge of the reigns of
our hearts specially during the time of test...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.


[Reference Scriptures]
2 Chronicles 32:23-24
23 And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to
Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all
nations from thenceforth.
24 In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the
LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.

2 Kings 20:8-11
8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD
will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the
third day?
9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the
LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go
forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go
down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the
shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of
Ahaz.

Turn you to Me with all your lebab
Joel 2: 12, 13 - Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to
me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with
mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto
the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and
of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
The word translated as heart is the Hebrew word 'lebab', lebab does
not mean physical heart nor does it mean just emotions or feeling, but
means 'inner man' also referred to as soul (not our spirit). Turning
to the Lord with all our hearts therefore does not mean with all
emotions or feeling. Many people do this, they repent, feel sad,
thirst love but yet some latter time in their walk with the Lord they
crash. All start well in the Lord but very, very few end well; all
because they do not work their lebab (inner man) well.
Our inner man has many parts, with distinct functions, working with
each other like our physical body having different parts / organs
does.
Our inner man has mainly 5 parts:-
1) Conscience
2) Mind
3) Throne
4) Nature
5) Pump
I have written 3 books (teachings) to explain this but will try to put
this in this very short mail so that you may be guided to be one among
the few who finish well.
Conscience connects between our spirit and inner man.
Mind is divided into 3 sections knowledge, wisdom and thoughts. To
simplify this in computer terminology - knowledge can be considered as
data, wisdom the software (programs) and thoughts the instructions
(keys) by which they both are activated and used. Our mind (main part)
thus becomes like the RAM (memory) where these 3 work and process in.
Throne is the priority place which we give to an individual, desire or
object in our life. Simplified this there are 3 kingdoms can
possession of this place; God's Kingdom, worldly kingdom and Satan's
kingdom. To understand how things work here imagine this place as two
chairs, one top chair and a second chair.
If the Kingdom of God sits on the top chair the worldly kingdom gets
seated on the second chair.
If the worldly kingdom sits on the top chair then Satan's kingdom
automatically gets seated on the second chair.
If Satan's kingdom sits on the top chair then the second chair nor
Kingdom of God, nor worldly kingdom can sit.
This is something one needs to understand clearly.
Nature is our character, our habits, our blessings, our curses, etc.
and are to our inner man like the skeleton structure which gives shape
and strength to our physical body.
Pump is the part of our inner man which connects the physical body to
our inner man via the senses. This is the place where the processing
of good and bad feelings is processed.
Just working on only one or even ignoring just one can cause failure
to the whole anytime.
How did I get all this and where in the Bible is this?
It will surprise you that almost one third of the Bible is all about
this. The five books of Moses and the book of Psalms give us all about
the inner man. The book of Psalms even during the time of Jesus was
divided into 5 books according to the books of Moses and these both in
turn are according to the parts of our inner man.
1) Conscience - The Book of Genesis - Psalms (1-41) The Genesis Book
2) The Mind - The Book of Exodus - Psalms (42-72) The Exodus Book
3) The Throne - The Book of Leviticus - Psalms (73-89) The Leviticus Book
4) The Nature - The Book of Numbers - Psalms (90-106) The Numbers Book
5) The Pump - The Book of Deuteronomy - Psalms (107-150) The Deuteronomy Book
(I will try if I can put these 3 part teachings together into one and
upload it for you on the SavedByFaith website)
Thus when a person needs to turn to the Lord with all our heart, it
means all these 5 areas need to be taken full control of, things
reorganized and redirected according to the Kingdom of God. Fasting,
repentance and morning is like the whip which redirects our inner man
like it does to a horse going haywire onto the right path. Whip is
important, but also concentrate on feeding the horse with the right
food and with proper intervals.
This is not something you will find in any book (I know of) because
this was revealed to me by the Lord and it did not happen in one day.
It took almost one and a half year with practicals (which I doubt
anyone would like to experience).

[Prayer Starter]
Lord, it was our inner man which got corrupted due to sin and it is in
our inner man where all the work is going on to change it back to the
way You created it. Lord, help us by your Spirit and Truth to give our
total heart unto You removing the corruption out so that we can enter
your Kingdom with your Son when He comes back...
We make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference Scriptures]
1 Corinthians 15:42-44
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption;
it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is
a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

Patrons - corrected

Since there were many errors in the mail I am resending it again - my
apologies on it.
God Bless

Patrons
Acts 28:11 - And after three months we departed in a ship of
Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and
Pollux.
Today again I received the same message as what I received last time.
In my last mail I spoke about how pagan practices infiltrated
Christianity through the early Catholic Church.
One of the pagan practices of the Romans and Greeks which people are
ignorant about which the Catholic Church does even today openly is the
concept - making patrons - making religious heads (saints) as patrons
over things / matters.
We read in Acts the Twin Brothers were considered patrons by the
sailors and therefore a figurehead of them on a ship was common. The
Catholic Church has officially saints who are patrons over lost and
found department (St. Anthony), Sickness department (St.Jude) etc. if
you like to see the full list log on to
http://www.catholic.org/saints/patron.php
(Saint's / people of God's names are misused by this Church for many
reasons and one of them mainly being for commercial gains - traditions
is big money)
I can imagine the imagination of these extra wise people that they
have reorganized the Kingdom of God and made it into a man's world.
What takes the cake is man is officially designation by this church to
having authority over even the Angels in Heaven and overriding God to
some extent. I doubt most Catholics have idea the official
designation of the Pope as 'king of kings and lord or lords', 'Jesus
Christ on earth in flesh', 'not mere man but god on earth', 'has
authority to even excommunicate the Angels who err in Heaven'.
(Prompta Bibliotheca volume 6 definition of Pope, La Civila Cattlica
March 18, 1871, Catholic National July Edition 1895, Michael Muller
'The Catholic Priest' pages 78, 79). This even today is taught with
great fervor in many Catholic countries.
The previous Pope John Paul II (who's mass I served in India as head
altar boy when I was young) had advised Christians not to approach God
directly for forgiveness of sins but to approach a priest. Today God
has put this big mouth to place, for this great 'holy' man who assumes
authority over Angels who err, is made to approaching mere man again
and again for forgiveness for his church's un-holiness.
There is no scripture or any example in the Bible where in a Man of
God is made specialist over a set area of life. If that was the case
then Moses becomes patron over splitting seas, Elijah over rain
control, Abraham over sacrifices and Daniel over lions. Does that
sound funny? It is not funny when the same foolishness is done with
religious people (saints)?
Like I wrote in my previous mail a lot of rubbish of the Catholics has
also diluted and spread into the believer Churches. The believers do
not believe in patrons but many believers do nurture belief that some
people's prayers over certain matters are more effective than others.
When Jesus gave His disciples authority (not just the twelve but this
also includes you and me, all who have become disciples of Jesus -
those who carry our Crosses in Jesus Christ), He gave us authority
over (all) sickness, (all) weaknesses and over (all) evil (corrupt)
spirits. There was no specialization given unto some.
It is only our maturity in Spirit which will open our eyes to see the
vanity which man has been doing in the Name of the Lord.
Yesterday I was at service and a powerful message came into my heart
during worship; the reason why the world does not know Christ is
because we fail to become true examples of Christ.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, forgive us your people who out of lack of knowledge and
lack of desire for You have fallen prey to the vanity of the evil one.
Lord, open the eyes of your people and by your Spirit bring them, unto
light. Make us more and more like You so that the world may know
God...
This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference Scriptures]
Luke 9:1
1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power
and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
Matthew 10:1
1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them
power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all
manner of sickness [weaknesses] and all manner of disease.

overriding God to some extent. I doubt most Catholics have no idea the
official designation of the Pope as ‘king of kings and lord or lords,
Jesus Christ on earth in flesh, not mere man but god on earth, who has
authority to even excommunicate even the Angels who err in Heaven’.
(Prompta Bibliotheca volume 6 definition of Pope, La Civila Cattlica
March 18, 1871, Catholic National July Edition 1895, Michael Muller
“The Catholic Priest” pages 78, 79). This even today is taught with
great fervor in many Catholic countries.

The previous Pope John Paul II (who's mass I served in India as head
altar boy when I was young) had advised Christians not to approach God
directly for forgiveness of sins but to approach a priest. Today God
has put this big mouth to place, for this great man who assumes
authority over Angels who err, is made to approaching mere man again
and again for forgiveness for his church's un-holiness.

There is no scripture or any example in the Bible where a Man of God
is made specialist over a set area. If that was the case then Moses
becomes patron over splitting seas, Elijah over rain control, Abraham
over sacrifice, Daniel over lions... does that sound funny. It is not
funny when the same foolishness is done with religious people?

Like I wrote in my previous mail a lot of rubbish of the Catholics has
also diluted and spread into the believer churches. The believers do
not believe in patrons but many believers do nurture belief that some
people's prayers over certain matters are more effective than others.

When Jesus gave His disciples authority (not just the twelve but also
includes you and me who have become disciples of Jesus - those who
carry our Crosses in Jesus Christ), He gave it over (all) sickness,
(all) weaknesses and over (all) evil (corrupt) spirits. There was no
specialization given unto some.

It is only maturity in Spirit which will open your eyes to see the
vanity which man has been doing in the Name of the Lord.

Yesterday I was at service and a powerful message came into my heart
during worship; the reason why the world does know Christ is because
we fail to become true examples of Christ.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, forgive us your people who out of lack of knowledge and
lack of desire for You have fallen prey to the vanity of the evil one.
Lord, open the eyes of your people and by your Spirit bring them, unto
light. Make us more and more like You so that the world may know
God...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.


[Reference Scriptures]
Luke 9:1
1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power
and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

Matthew 10:1
1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them
power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all
manner of sickness [weaknesses] and all manner of disease.

Do not get marked by the beast

Acts 28:11,12 - And after three months we departed in a ship of
Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and
Pollux. And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
The ship which Paul traveled had a figurehead of the Great Twin
Brothers - Castor and Pollux. Luke who was giving account of the early
Church in Acts specifically brings our attention to this object for he
did not do that to the others ships or any other part of this ship.
These figure heads were mythological characters sons of Zeus by Leda.
These are now known as Gemini in astrology - considered as patron of
sailors.
It may surprise you that we Christians have infected ourselves with
lots of pagan practices of the Babylonians. Historically it is found
that most of the pagan practices of all religions from idol worship,
walking on fire, human sacrifice, astrology, palmistry, human worship
etc. were all having roots during the Babylonian era. God did not
confuse the Babylonians just because they build a physical tower to
reach Heaven. Understand the earth is round do which side is up!
To understand the Kingdom of God one cannot use human intelligence. To
prove human intelligence foolish God made creation the way it is. He
bought Babel tower down which was build in the hearts of man by
confusing them.
If one studies the pagan practices of the Babylonians, Syrians, Greek
and Roman you will find all these have found their way into the
Christian life as traditions through the Catholic Church. This is the
reason this church has been described as beast which is the composite
of the four beasts describing as the four kingdoms in the book of
Daniel.
Some would say this is my own interpretation of scriptures.
Everything in the Bible interprets itself and has historic,
archeological and scientific proof. Right from Genesis to Revelation -
since we are on this topic on 26th December you may be glad to know we
are going to take a procession in Mumbai from Bandra to Borivali on
the Word of God being true; we would be releasing datasheets on
various topics from the Bible which are very hard to believe and are
now proved by science, history & archeology.
Coming back to our message, the Roman Emperor Constantine called
himself Christian but also had roots in pagan Roman practices which he
had not given up fully. Half of his people were Christians and the
other half were pagan Romans. To win this other half he started the
concept of whitewashing pagan celebrations with Christian identities.
These were latter made official by the Pope when he was crowned king
around 475AD (he was removed from kingship during the French
Revolution exactly 1260 years later).
The Roman Empire was described as the ferrous beast with ten horns. We
know in history that the Roman Empire disintegrated into 10 kingdoms
of which 7 still exist and have become countries. Like in Daniel the
Lord showed him the little horn (which is now called the Vatican City)
which came among the 10 horns. This horn was the cause of 3 other
kingdoms from ceasing to exist. All this is not interpretation but
historic proof.
Today it is not only the Catholic Church but to some extend even the
believer Churches are following many of the pagan celebrations and
practices unknowingly since they came from Catholic Church roots.
Do not blindly do what your ancestors or others have been doing;
discern everything with the Word of God. You will never know you may
unknowingly get marked by the beast.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, the devil came as a deceiving serpent and made Adam and
Eve to sin. Even today he moves like a serpent deceiving your people
who do not have the Spirit of Discernment. Lord, we pray that You
bless all those who call on your Name with your Spirit of Discernment
so that they may know right from wrong, your Kingdom from Satan's
kingdom...
We make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference Scriptures]
Daniel 7:2-8
2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold,
the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle' wings: I beheld till the
wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and
made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised
up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it
between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour
much flesh.
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon
the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads;
and dominion was given to it.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast,
dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron
teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with
the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were
before it; and it had ten horns.
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them
another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns
plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the
eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Revelation 13:1-10
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out
of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet
were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and
the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his
deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and
they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is
able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two
months. [ 42 months = 1260 days / years]
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his
name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues,
and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names
are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that
killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the
patience and the faith of the saints.
Revelation 12:1-6
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with
the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of
twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to
be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red
dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his
heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did
cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which
was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was
born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with
a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his
throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place
prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two
hundred and threescore days.[1260 years]
Revelation 13:11-18
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and
causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first
beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to
them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the
beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that
the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as
would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or
the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number
of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six
hundred threescore and six.

Leadership wakeup alarm

Hosea 5:10 - The princes of Judah were like them that remove the
bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

Near the end of Jan this year I was told by the Lord to confront the
Pastor of the Church I go for fellowship. It was nothing personal
against him but it was a matter concerning the whole evangelistic
Church this Church is part of. I was given a message to give if they
do not listen or change the Lord will put a string through its nose
and bring it to path.

When I went to give the message I myself was not aware it was going to
affect it so drastically. But just this last Sunday the Word was
broken by one of the senior most of this Church and in the breaking of
the Word he via scriptures landed giving out the depth of the problems
which were happening among the top leaders. All are literally on their
knees praying to the Lord to sort this problem, but wouldn’t it have
been wiser to walk in the Word of the Lord then to deviate and latter
get on the knees, when the Lord takes account of it.

In the session he disclosed there were 3 others who approached him
personally and also warned him of the problem long before it started.
In the vision the Lord gave me He had already disclosed the result of
this crisis. The result was good but there was had change of people
and structure.

This Pastor works on a global level and the one thing he shared which
was a wake up to all was the figure he gave about leadership failures.
He put the figure at 92 percent. In the current scenario only 8
percent of the leaders successfully and effectively run Churches, this
is a wakeup alarm to us.

Since a few years many top leaders of different believer ministries
and Churches have and are seeing a serious shaking of their leaders.
This is not the devil at work but the Lord Himself doing the shaking.
In this shaking all that is of the Lord will stand and not of the Lord
will be leveled.

Since the last few months I have less gone out to preach to the people
but have concentrated mainly on the Pastors, Evangelist, Teachers etc.
those who work in the vineyard of the Lord.

Before the Lord shows His glory to the world He wants to make sure
those who represent Him have a standing with Him. So if you are a
leader or worker in Kingdom of God, you may not be a scholar or have
the full understanding of the Word (no man does) but the Lord will see
if you have set your heart right with whatsoever little you know of
His Word.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord, your people are suffering because they have no one to lead them
and show You unto them. Lord, work among the leaders You have set to
lead your sheep so that your glory be see among your people...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.


[Reference Scriptures]
M ark 12:29-34
29 Jesus answered, "The first is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God,
the Lord is one;
30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with
all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.'
31 The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
There is no other commandment greater than these."
32 And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher; you have
truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he;
33 and to love him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor
as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and
sacrifices."
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You
are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to
ask him any question.

Ezekiel 5:7-17
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than
the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my
statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according
to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against
thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of
the nations.
9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I
will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and
the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in
thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
11 Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou
hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all
thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall
mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with
famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part
shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third
part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to
rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I
the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury
in them.
14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations
that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an
astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall
execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes.
I the LORD have spoken it.
16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall
be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I
will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall
bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I
will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.

Both Satan and God want to kill you
Lamentations 3: 60 - Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their
imaginations against me.
Just 2 days back I was called by some to meet a Man of God in whom and
through whom God did and is doing wonderfully. As I got introduced to
him I unexpectedly landed attending his session. He was preaching
about the Cross. His main message was that the main problem with there
being very, very few true Christians was with the persons who bought
them to Christ. Most people show lollipops when they tell others of
Christ and after a few years when they face reality they lose Christ
and turn back to the life of unbelief.
He was pointing out that most people are Christians because they want
healings, money, good job, good family etc. But when they face reality
and see the true thing on which Christianity is all about they run
away or like a snail retract in their shell for a very long, long time
and that one thing is The CROSS.
People came in thousands to Jesus but when Jesus told them the truth
of His preaching they all ran away with a very few remaining with Him
at the end.
One hard truth which he bluntly put was 'both Satan and God want to
kill you'. Satan deceives you and makes you sin so that he can
destroy your spirit; that you do not enter Heaven to live eternally (a
gift which he lost). He also said God on the other hand also wants to
kill you (this did surprised everyone there) he was actually pointing
out to the carnal nature in us. God too want to kill the carnal / sin
nature in us so that by His image coming back in us we enter Heaven
and have eternal life. God wants you to live eternally and for that He
needs to kill you and for this He puts problems (people and
situations) into your life.
This Evangelist gave an example from the book of Samuel. Elkanah had
two wives; obviously he did not marry both together and by the
situation we know that his first wife Hannah and his second wife was
Peninnah. Hannah was without child and was all okay in life until
Peninnah came and had children. Peninnah changed the situation for
Hannah. She was troubled by Peninnah so much that Hannah went crying
to the Lord and begged for a child. This did not happened for one day
but for a long period of time. Hannah's prayer did get answered and so
came a great Man of God - Samuel into this world. Samuel anointed many
great Kings and people of God. Had Peninnah not been there we would
not have had Samuel.
God puts people and creates ugly situations into our life to slowly do
the job of killing us, so that we can live eternally in Jesus Christ.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord God, You showed us the perfect example You want to make us into,
your Son Jesus Christ. For this You know and we too know that we need
to die to ourselves so that You live in us and we live eternally. Lord
we pray that as You do work in us by your grace we are strengthened in
You, your Hand be over us, holding us so that we do not break or fall
to the evil one...
This prayer we make in Jesus Christ, Amen.

[Reference Scriptures]
1 Samuel 1:1-10, 17-20
1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim,
and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the
son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name
of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no
children.
3 And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to
sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli,
Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.
4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his
wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but
the LORD had shut up her womb.
6 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret,
because the LORD had shut up her womb.
7 And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the
LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and
why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to
thee than ten sons?
9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they
had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple
of the LORD.
10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel
grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the
woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the
LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew
Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after
Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel,
saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.
Galatians 2:20
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but
Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live
by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Remove the stones covering the tombs in you and see the glory of God

John 11:39,40 - Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister
of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a
stench, for he has been dead four days." Jesus said to her, "Did I
not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of
God?"

If one looks at the miracles that Jesus did Lazarus was not the only
person Jesus bought to life. There are many whom Jesus brought to
live. Some on the same day they died, some may be the next day after
they died. For example the widow whose son was brought to life at the
city gate, she was not a Jew and they were taking the body for its
last rites. Now how would one confirm if he had died the same day or
the day before or even two days before?

We see among all miracles, the bringing back to life of Lazarus is
considered the greatest miracle Jesus did. It is not because the body
of Lazarus had decayed terribly. If we see when Jesus resurrected,
many of the holy people who had died long before and whose body may
have already become dust came out of their graves and appeared unto
the people. Now there was no big issue made of this that all started
believing in Jesus Christ.

It was Dr. Ron Charles a Historian and Archeologist from I came to
know about how great the miracle of bringing back to life of Lazarus
was and why this event became so famous which led the Pharisees to act
on conspiring to kill Jesus. It was not to do with the degree of decay
of Lazarus body but with Mary and Martha and the Jewish people.
Although according to the traditions of the people staying in that
area, the internal organs of Lazarus were removed and kept in pot and
the body was filled with a concoction of honey, vinegar etc. to embalm
it. Even after knowing this, it was not the main wonder of this
miracle.

It is from historic and archeological studies we understand the stone
which was in the mind of Mary and Martha and the people was bigger
than the stone that covered the tomb of Lazarus. Jesus knew Lazarus
died four days before He came there, but wept neither because Lazarus
died nor because He saw Mary and Martha weeping, but He saw the stone
in Mary was greater than that which covered the tomb. Let me explain.

The Jews we see here were influenced by the Egyptians and followed the
burial rituals of the Egyptians. In the process of following
traditions they also let the belief of the Egyptians to slip into
their minds.

The Egyptians believed the dead could be raised back to life within
the four days of their death and therefore their tombs were designed
in that fashion. After the four days they believed that even God could
not raise the dead.

Jesus delayed His coming there so that He could prove that God is
Almighty and nothing is impossible for Him.

Like Mary and Martha we too who believe in God, due to our living with
the unbelievers of this world have many parts of our lives which have
become tombs with large stones coving them. They have a name plate
written 'NOTHING CAN HAPPEN HERE'. Even if Jesus Christ Himself
appears unto us, we may land up saying to Him 'do not waste your time
this area is far too dead for You to do anything'.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, our God is Almighty God and
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM. It is time you and I move these stones
of these tombs, however long dead they may be and allow the Glory of
God to be seen in our lives. There is no area so dead that God cannot
heal or bring life into it.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, forgive us for the tombs we have created in our lives and
the huge stones we have put unto them. Lord, forgive us for the
disbelief we have harbored in us, even when we have seen so many
mighty wonders with our own eyes. Lord, help us by your grace to
remove these stone and see that You are indeed Almighty...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.


[Reference Scriptures]
John 11:39-44
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days
still in the same place where he was.
7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to
stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man
walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this
world.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no
light in him.
11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our
friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had
spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent
ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his
fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four
days already.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them
concerning their brother.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and
met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God
will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ,
the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her
sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place
where Martha met him.
31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her,
when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed
her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell
down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping
which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes
of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It
was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who
was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he
has been dead four days."
40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe
you would see the glory of God?"
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man
was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You
that You have heard Me.
42 "And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who
are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me."
43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice,
"Lazarus, come forth!"
44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with
graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to
them, "Loose him, and let him go."

Matthew 27:50-54
50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to
bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,
52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had
fallen asleep were raised;
53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went
into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus,
saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared
greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

The Second coming of Jesus Christ
Obadiah 1:20,21 - And the captivity of this host of the children of
Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and
the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the
cities of the south. And saviours [savior] shall come up on mount Zion
to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
We need to understand when God first promised the Promised Land it was
to Abraham. God called it the land of certain tribes. This Promised
Land beyond the river Jordan was symbolizing Heaven, then why did God
call it the land of theses tribes?
One will understand this when one goes into the meaning of each name
and also it's ancestral relationship and background.
The Old Testament is given in a shadow format; one sees the outline
but cannot get the details of its body. It is only when one
understands the meaning of Word became flesh as written in book of
John, one will realize that one cannot take away the Old Testament
and have Christ.
Even though the birth of the Savior Jesus was detailed in the Old
Testament it was only the 3 wise men who could figure out when and
about where it would happen. Like the birth of Jesus also a lot is
being given about the second coming of Jesus in the Bible, but it is
only those who are blessed in wisdom to whom the details are revealed.
The Pharisees were called Lawyers of the Law of Moses yet could not
understand that most of the book of Moses was all about Jesus Christ.
It is true the day [period] and hour [exact time] is kept away from
man but the day [period] is given unto man in many scriptures. Like
the exact location of Jesus' birth was not known to the wise men but
it was only after the star appeared unto them on that day that they
were led to it. So also man will know only on that day that it is now
the Day of Judgment.
We are children of Light and not of darkness, so God will not let us
walk without any understanding.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, in many places You tried to give man hints of your second
coming so that they prepare for it. It is only by your Spirit of Truth
that we are aware of approximately when it will happen so that we are
not mislead by the foolishness of others and the deceit of the evil
one. Lord, by your Spirit speak unto your children and reveal more of
Yourself unto them, so that they may not be deceived. Like Noah
prepared the Ark even without knowing the exact day of flood, but he
knew that the flood would not come until he completed his work. Lord,
help us that we too may prepare your people for your coming again as
man...
This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference Scriptures]
Genesis 15:18-21
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto
thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the
great river, the river Euphrates:
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the
Jebusites.
Hebrew 11:8-10
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which
he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out,
not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange
country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with
him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and
maker is God.
Matthew 24:35-39
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man [one], no, not the angels
of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe [Noah], so shall also the coming of the Son
of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe
entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:13-14
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world
for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Know love to know God

1 John 4:12 - No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one
another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

People are lost because they do not know God. They do not know God
because they do not know love.

If you ask someone to define love, they could say things like
sacrificing for another, being kind for another, giving unto another
etc.

One can give all that one has to another but yet not have love
existing between them. Even between a mother and child wherein the
mother may have sacrificed all her time and energy after the child
still true love may not exist between them.

To have true love understanding of the Truth is required.

In the Bible New Testament worldly love is written with the Greek work
'Agapao' <25> but the love between God and man the word 'Agape' <26>
is used. And love out of emotion the word 'Phileo' <5368> is used.
People normally call Agape as God like of love or just selfless love.

The truth is the only difference between Agape and Agapao is, Agape is
selfless love with purpose and the Agapao is love out of emotion. In
many translations Agape has been translated as not love but charity.

To imitate God we need to understand when we love another that love
should prosper that person. Loving someone with that love not changing
anything for the better may have more evil than good in that relation.

For example if the love of a mother does not let a child mature or
become self independent then that love may not be love but self
gratification of a mother thinking she is going her duty.

We may not please others but we may still be loving that person. Over
a period of time love will prove it's self.

Without fruit(s) of the Holy Spirit true love is next to impossible,
that’s the reason even though it looks simple is yet the most
difficult.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, You became a living example of love. Your love may have
been manifested on the crucifix but was from the foundation of
creation. It is only when You come in glory and man inherits all that
You have made available for him will man know your love. Lord, we may
not know love but by your Spirit teach us to love our brothers and
sisters like You love us...

This prayer we make in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

[Reference scriptures]
Matthew 5:46
46 For if ye love them which love <25> you, what reward have ye? do
not even the publicans the same?

Luke 20:46-47
46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and
love <5368> greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the
synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the
same shall receive greater damnation.

John 5:39-42
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life:
and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love <26> of God in you.

Romans 13:10
10 Love <26> worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love <26> is
the fulfilling of the law.

1 Colossians 13:13
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the
greatest of these is charity.

Touching the right part of Jesus' cloak

Luke 8:45 - And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and
they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and
press thee , and sayest thou, Who touched me?

People use this testimony of the faith of this woman who suffered with
an issue of blood, many a times for healings; but I have not come
across anybody using the truth, knowledge and wisdom which this woman
processed, which helped her get her healing.

First we need to realize this woman spend a lot of money on physicians
over many years and it seem to be that she lived alone with nobody of
her family (they may have left her because of her disease) nor even
servants. Even in this situation she could survive and keep herself
alive in this terrible sickness (both painful and socially outcast
during those times).

Coming to Jesus, there were times when Jesus allowed those who touched
Him to be healed but at this time he was not doing that. What we need
to understand is an anointed Man of God can turn on his anointing just
that anyone who touches him or things connected to him can receive a
part of the anointing and be healed. This does not happen all the time
but only when the anointing is great on that person. Peter understood
this and used this, so much so that people were getting healed even by
his shadow.

Unlike ordinary Men of God in the case of Jesus the anointing was 24x7
always on, but Jesus would or would not allow this anointing to pass
unto others at His will. This woman had knowledge of how to tap into
the anointing even at times when Jesus had not turned it on, it was to
this reason that Jesus was taken by surprise, He felt the anointing go
from Him without Him allowing.

Both Matthew and Luke very clearly specify in their record that the
woman touched a specific part of the garment of Jesus, its fringe.
When one studies the clothing of a Jew during those times they had a
very specific dress. Like in today it is very easy to identify an
orthodox Jew from a large crowd due to his dress. Jesus was not a
orthodox Jew but he wore what was a common dress of a Jew according to
the Law of Moses.

Every Jew as an identification of who they were, had to sew a blue
ribband into the hem of their cloak. What the woman touched was not
just the cloak of Jesus but the authority of Jesus, as to Who He
Was/Is.

If you and I can tap into the authority of Jesus, there will never be
a time of lacking, and less time of praying for healing. Jesus never
prayed for healing for anyone or any miracle, He just thanked before
because He knew He already had authority given unto Him.

That does not mean we will stop praying. Praying does not need to be
only for asking but it also has other parts like refreshing one€ ’²s self
before the Lord or thanking and praising Him etc.

Knowledge of the Truth, fruit(s) of the Holy Spirit, gifts of the Holy
Spirit, fasting and praying helps us build our authority in Jesus.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, You said that we will do greater things than what You did.
You have authority over all things given unto You by the Father. But
You exercise this with responsibility so has to only do it to glorify
the Father. All things You did was to glorify the Father, even that
one time when You were made to change the water to wine at Cana, You
objected but yet did so as to guide us in our walk in life. You did
not want to glorify Yourself but the Father alone, for You know the
Father will bring You in glory. Lord Jesus, help us realize, grow and
responsibly use this authority which You have given us...

This prayer we make in Jesus€ ’² Name, Amen.


[Reference Scripture]
Luke 8:44-48
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and
immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they
that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press
thee , and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that
virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling,
and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the
people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed
immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath
made thee whole; go in peace.

Matthew 9:19-22
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood
twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I
shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said,
Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the
woman was made whole from that hour.

Acts 5:13-15
13 But of the rest durst no man join himself to them: howbeit the
people magnified them;
14 and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of
men and women;
15 insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and
laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least
his shadow might overshadow some one of them.

Numbers 15:38-39
38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make
them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their
generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a
ribband of blue:
39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it,
and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that
ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use
to go a whoring:

John 2:1-11
1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the
mother of Jesus was there:
2 and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They
have no wine.
4 And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine
hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews€ ’²
manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they
filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of
the feast. And they bare it.
9 And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine,
and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the water
knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom,
10 and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and
when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: thou hast kept
the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Mark 6:54-56
54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry
about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or
country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they
might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as
touched him were made whole.

Wisdom - from sister, trader to a Mother!

Luke 7:35 - But wisdom is justified of all her children.

I have seen that many of those who have become victims of Satan and
fallen in his traps are those who lack wisdom. Many of them think that
the Word is simple and for the lay man.

Since I do not like to get personal I avoid showing them in their own
words how much of vanity exist. They contradict their own words and it
is difficult to understand what they believe in.

King Solomon who was blessed in wisdom and understanding which
exceeded all those during those time yet did the most foolish things
of worshiping idols (false gods) because of his lust for women. It
may surprise the gods Solomon fell for are the same which the
Catholics, Prosperity Church and Islam fall for.

Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians ('Ishtar' of Assyria) -
symbolizes 'prosperity' (idol of the Prosperity Church who pursue
prosperity more than God or His Will)

Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites - symbolizes 'making man king'
(giving God€ ’²s position to man - like Holy Father. A person of God is
called a Man of God pursuing holiness but never Holy Father)

Chemosh the abomination of Moab (means 'subduer' a god of stars /
planets) - symbolizes 'people void of destiny' - both Catholics and
Muslims fall in this category, both have no idea of what Heaven is and
how one can reach there.

Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon (god of lust
worshipped with orgies) - symbolizes lust - Muslims and to some extend
Catholics are blinded by this god. They both expect earthly pleasures
in Heaven. The Muslims believed the martyrs and the anointed ones will
receive many young virgins and great banquets in Heaven. About the
Catholics I am still confused about their confusion in what they
expect Heaven to be they want mother of God and queen of Heaven, and
what not in Heaven. I do not know where God (Father, Son and Spirit)
stands in their picture of Heaven.


Although King Solomon was blessed in these gifts yet he was never
called a Man of God for the Spirit was not with him like in the case
of his father David.

Although Solomon in his old days was led by the Spirit of God to
compose (they were physically written by someone else) the books which
are now a part of the Bible and even make the Temple, yet he was never
filled with the Spirit of God. When one really understands the Word
then one will know the part Solomon played in the Bible.

We need to realize we are better off than Solomon because, we through
our faith in Jesus Christ have received the Spirit of Truth (which
also translates as Wisdom). We are now adopted by the Holy Spirit, Who
is now both our Father and Mother because Jesus made us His brother
and sisters.

One of the references used for God 'Al-Shadai' which is translated as
'Almighty God' in ancient Hebrew literally means 'Strong Breasted
One'. God is both our eternal Father and Mother.

It is only when we are baptized in the Holy Spirit and become children
of the Holy Spirit that we start to understand the Word of God.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord we thank You for your sacrifice. By washing away our ancestral
sins and our past sins, You make available the Spirit of God for us.
Holy Spirit help your people surrender to You, so that You can open
our minds and make us understand the Word - the Instructions to our
Salvation...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.


[Reference Scriptures]
1 Kings 4:29-31
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and
largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of
the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman,
and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all
nations round about.

1 Samuel 16:13
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of
his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day
forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

1 Kings 11:3-8
3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred
concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned
away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with
Jehovah his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and
after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6 And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and
went not fully after Jehovah, as did David his father.
7 Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of
Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the
abomination of the children of Ammon.
8 And so did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and
sacrificed unto their gods.

Proverbs 1:20-22
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the
gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the
scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Proverbs 2:1-7
1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart
to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for
understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the
knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and
understanding.
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to
them that walk uprightly.

Proverbs 3:11-18
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary
of his correction:
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son
in whom he delighteth.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth
understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of
silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst
desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is
every one that retaineth her.

Proverbs 4:5-10
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from
the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she
shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all
thy getting get understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to
honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory
shall she deliver to thee.
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life
shall be many.
11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou
runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she
is thy life.

Proverbs 7:4-5
4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger
which flattereth with her words.

Proverbs 8:10-12
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than
choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be
desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Proverbs 9:1-6
1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath
also furnished her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places
of the city,
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth
understanding, she saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Show unto others our God and He shall be unto us

Isaiah 58: 10,11 - and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and
satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in darkness, and
thine obscurity be as the noonday; and Jehovah will guide thee
continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy
bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of
water, whose waters fail not.
Like our mouth speaks words so also out actions also speak a lot.
Faith therefore in not just words but is also in actions.
Since God wants us show the world Who He is without harming the world,
He does so by His people. He wants His people to imitate Him. If we
show unto others that our God is merciful and forgiving by our
actions; He does become merciful and forgiving unto us and if we do
the opposite so also God will be the opposite unto us.
So let us show unto others our God is loving, kind, merciful,
compassionate, righteous, patient, slow to anger, zealous, never
forgetting, ever forgiving, faithful, joyful, good, holy, peace
loving, gentle etc. by our actions in being the same towards them,
especially those who are of need.
The Lord will be pleased with us being His children and respond a
hundred folds the same with us. The Lord says when we show Him unto
others He will be our guide and we will never have surprises in our
lives, we will see dead-ends or suddenly see problems. When problems
come we will be ready for them and will be taken over them without
being affected. The Lord also says He will build and strengthen our
character and we will be a beauty unto others. People will be please
to be with us for out of us live will flow unto others.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus Christ, we call ourselves Christians - your follower, but
in our living we show another christ. Lord Jesus, by your Spirit
strengthen us and give us the courage to be like You in our daily
life. You are alike to the Father, so by imitating You we imitate the
Father Whom no man has seen. When the Father sees Himself in us He
will bless us abundantly...
This prayer we make in Your Mighty Name, Amen.

[Reference Scriptures]
Matthew 25:31-40
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from
the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 18:23-34
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king,
which would take account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which
owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be
sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to
be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord,
have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and
loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his
fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on
him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him,
saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he
should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very
sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou
wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst
me:
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant,
even as I had pity on thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till
he should pay all that was due unto him.

Washing of feet
John 13:5 - After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to
wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he
was girded.
When most read about Jesus washing the feet of his disciples at the
Last Supper they always talk about Jesus being humble and serving
others, what they miss is the greater point - the washing of feet.
If one reads the scriptures one finds Jesus insisting of washing only
the feet not any other part of His disciples. Without getting into
other scriptures or incidents of the Bible and coming direct to the
point - the washing of feet symbolize forgiving of sins.
People do not realize if you are a Man of God the Lord Jesus Christ
has given you authority to forgive the sins of others. This may be
difficult for some to digest and one of my brothers in Christ had
great difficulty in getting to accept this.
His argument was when a person commits sin against the Lord he/she
repents and comes before the Lord and gets forgiveness. If a person
sins against another brother/sister, he/she approaches that
brother/sister and asks for forgiveness and the Lord forgives him/her.
This is very true.
There are two other - one when approaching a Priest / Worker of the
Sanctuary /Pastor and second approaching a Man / Woman of God.
The Bible says in the books of Moses when a person sins against
another and that does have access to that person (i.e. person is dead)
then he/she should approach his/her next of kin and only in case there
is no next of kin then the person approaches the priest. When I
realized this it was funny that long before as a Catholic I used to
declare my own family members dead and approach the priest every time
for forgiveness of my sins towards them.
Now the other part of approaching a Man of God, one should realize a
Man of God is an anointed representative of God having authority in
the Name of the Lord. One may argue that a Priest / Pastor is a Man of
God - this is not necessary. In the Old Testament a Man of God (Nabi)
was not necessary a Priest nor every Priest called a Man of God
(Nabi). A Man of God demonstrated his authority and the people feared
him greatly, so much so that when they hear a Man of God entering
their town, they would rush to the gates and enquire if he came in
peace.
In the Old Testament few were selected Man of God for the Spirit of
God was on few, but after the dead and resurrection of Jesus Christ
the Spirit of God is a promise to all who believe in Him. Does that
make all Man of God? No.
This authority was given by Jesus to His disciples and to become His
disciples one needed to carry the Cross and follow Him. Like I told
you before the crucifix was to do with suffering of Jesus Christ and
was not the Cross Jesus refereed but part of the Cross of Jesus.
In the Cross which we are given to carry is does not have the crucifix
(for the sacrifice is done eternally for all mankind) but mainly the
purpose of Jesus Christ to bring man unto God.
For this the disciples receives along with the Baptism of the Holy
Spirit also a Baptism of Fire / Power. All Men and Women will testify
to you how they received the baptism of Fire in their lives which
became a turning point in their lives and there on they gave their
lives unto the purpose of the Lord.
As Man or Woman of God we also need to approach each other since we
too are prey to the sin nature of Adam in us which we are still
fighting against.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, You became the Lamb of God for the forgiveness of sins to
all those who believe and are baptized in You. Knowing that we still
have to overcome the nature to sin, You gave us your Spirit Who work
in us and help us overcome this nature of Adam. Holy Spirit as You
work in us help us have courage to ask for forgiveness when we fall.
We also thank You for your anointed ones who have authority in your
Name...
We make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference scriptures]
John 20:20-23
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his
side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father
hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto
them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose
soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
Matthew 18:1,18
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be
loosed in heaven.
Numbers 5:6-9
6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit
any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that
person be guilty;
7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he
shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto
it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath
trespassed.
8 But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let
the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest; beside
the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of
Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.

The wrong candidates of Babylon
Daniel 1:4 - young men in whom there was no blemish, but good-looking,
gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand,
who had ability to serve in the king€ ’²s palace, and whom they might
teach the language and literature of the Chaldeans.
When the Apostles had the task of choosing people for leadership
positions the first important factors which they looked for was being
filled with Holy Spirit, character, being socially responsible etc.
The reason the RC Church is having a great problem with its priest is
because the people who have being made priest are never connected with
anointing, fruit of the Holy Spirit, gifts of the Holy Spirit. The
first criteria which is asked for is education. They have a minimum
education qualification to become a priest if you do not have this
then you can serve the Church but as a Brother.
This is very contrary to the Bible and anything done contrary to the
Word of God will always fail.
Forgetting the sex scandal (paedophile and homosexuality) which is
hitting the church; it is no secret that many of the priests love to
be in other spirits like alcohol and money (sometimes the congregation
to influence them send bottles openly to the priest on celebrations
which they accept and sometimes complain after consuming). The Church
turns a blind eye towards these small matters and then tries to run
for cover, hide its face and make excuses when matters go out of hand.
You can blame the climate, the planets, the stars, the birds and the
bees but when will it blame its thinking, its system and change it?
Good public relations and media management will not solve its problem
but getting rooted in the Word of God and by the Spirit of God it
will.
Like the King of Babylon if this Church's leaders choose its
candidates on mental and physical criteria as its bases then you will
not get spiritual leaders but management leaders. This is the reason
from a church it has turned into a well managed institute sans God.
The Christian Church on the other hand has learned from this mistake,
today I know of a Pastor with whom I am involved with doing the Youth
Revival program set for Nov (please keep it in prayer) who is just 7th
standard pass. The amount of people he has bought into the Lord I
doubt a whole RC Church or a number of them together collectively may
have added unto the Lord.
In my conversation with a RC Church priest, one of the questions I put
to them is, ask them how many years they are serving in the Lord and
in these years how many people have they added unto the Lord. Many
could not give me a single name and for the rest I did not go over one
hand. Of the hundreds of priest I know (since I was closely connected
with this church) there were only 4 such priest who did well (like the
thousands and thousands taken to Babylon only a few stood out). Out of
these 2 have being transferred to some remote place (decommissioned)
and one fell unto riches and fame and got himself transferred to a
church abroad (with hardly a congregation and in a language which he
had to learn before leaving) so that he could provide to his poor
family back home - they get paid in dollars (foreign currency) for
every mass in addition to a fixed amount. Only 1 of them left the
Church and is still doing God's work of adding people unto the Lord,
with no human boss for restrictions.
It is time we realized the mistakes we have been making by twisting
and manipulating the Word of God; else we will pay the price.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord Jesus, You came to earth and became the Way for us not to start a
religion or an institute, but to mend relationship between God and
man. You gave us instructions and also showed us as a living example
of how to spread the Gospel and build people in You. Your disciples
learnt and followed You and these are recorded for us in the books of
Acts. Holy Spirit it was You Who led them and enlightened them; led
Your Church of today, enlighten its leaders to follow You in Spirit
and Truth and help your people to discern whom they follow...
This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference scriptures]
Acts 6:2-4
2 And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and
said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve
tables.
3 Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good
report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over
this business.
4 But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.
1 Timothy 3:1-13
1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he
desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant,
sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but
patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in
subjection with all gravity;
5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take
care of the church of God?)
6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the
condemnation of the devil.
7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest
he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to
much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office
of a deacon, being found blameless.
11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful
in all things.
12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children
and their own houses well.
13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to
themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in
Christ Jesus

Tighten your seat belts turbulent times ahead

Obadiah 1:21 - And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the
mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.

Last Sunday we were told to pray for protection from the terrorist and
as I put on my mail on the 24th we started praying taking the
testimony of Jehoshaphat when the 3 kings came to attack him and the
Lord brought confusion into their minds and they attacked each other
and destroyed each other.

Just yesterday we saw a preview of the things coming, the terrorist
openly attacking the prayer centers and taking a large number of their
own people as hostages.

When you are in the Lord even without weapon you are more dangerous
than an army with it.

In the book of Obadiah, the Lord talks of the Day of the Lord. The Day
of the Lord is not the Judgment Day which is at the end days. This Day
of the Lord is the day of revenge which the Lord takes and this
revenge is against specifically 3 lots of people. The work in these
areas has already started is some time.

The 3 lots are the RC Church, the Christian Churches (leaders) which
preach the prosperity Gospel / half Truth and Islam (specifically
Middle East).

Why these?
Because they all take the Lord's Name, but do not mean Him and misrepresent Him.

In the Bible a lot of details are given of the events connecting the
Day of the Lord as much as the End Days / Judgment Day. The importance
of both is almost the same for the Lord. The first will bring a great
change among His people and build them for the other Day.

I cannot get too much in the details but I can tell you one thing the
details are very, very specific as to how it will happen, so tighten
your seat belts for we are going to pass through turbulent times soon.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord God, since long You have waited. You have over ages warned and
directed your people but many did not heel to your warnings. Lord we
pray that the abundant grace of Jesus be on your people and they come
into light. Strengthen our hearts as You take us on your wings through
these times...

We make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.


[Reference Scriptures]
Obadiah 1:15-16
15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast
done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine
own head.
16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the
heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall
swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

Isaiah 7:17-25
17 The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy
father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim
departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss
for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and
for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate
valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon
all bushes.
20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired,
namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head,
and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a
young cow, and two sheep;
22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they
shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one
eat that is left in the land.
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be,
where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall
even be for briers and thorns.
24 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the
land shall become briers and thorns.
25 And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there
shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be
for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.

You cannot fool God
Zechariah 7:5 - Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the
priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh
month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to
me?
As we grow in the Lord we can discern people by their words, ways and
even by just being in their presence (by spirit). Our presence brings
the darkness into light and exposes them.
I have many a times experienced people confessing with their own mouth
the evil plans or thoughts they nurture in them.
We are human but imagine what the Lord God can see in. Nothing is
hidden from Him. The things that we do in the dark and reason of the
things we do in the light, all are known to Him.
Today's message is a very strong message coming to us (I would even
suggest you print this and keep it in display so your eyes see it
every day until it has registered permanently in your heart).
We have treated our relationship in the Lord like a tradition, we do
things like the animals do; like the cock crows we take the Name of
the Lord, it has become more of a habit than a relation. It should be
more like you giving your child a hug in the morning, coming from your
heart not from your routine.
If we scrutinize our actions and our though we will then realize why
the glory of God is not seen in us.
We cannot say we love God when we distant ourselves from His people.
God and His people cannot be parted. So if we love God we need to love
His people. Since we are in the flesh and if we want to see God and
His glory, the only place we can is in His Temple - His people. Thus
not loving His people is like saying - God I do not want to see You
nor experience You. Our attitude while working for the Lord will all
change when we realize we are workers of the Temple of God, building
the Temple not of earthly material but Heavenly material and the
stones of the Temple being His people.
Another thing which cannot be parted from God is His Word. Not abiding
by the Word of God is rejecting God. Those who go to long services and
spend many hours singing and praying by do not abide by the Word; you
are wasting your time. It is better you do something else because all
these efforts will not bear any fruit.
True love was shown by Jesus Who abided by the will of the Father and
the will of the Father is given to us in His Word. Even though man has
been instrument in bringing the Word to us yet it is the Father, Who
is the author of the Bible.
Doing one and not the other is useless i.e. You can give every drop of
your blood serving poor people but when you reject God's Word you are
still rejecting God.
Summarizing today’s message - If you truly love God it should be
meaningful and from your heart. You cannot love Him if you do not love
His people or His Word.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord God, from You nothing is hidden. You know the thoughts of man and
his work lays bare before You. Lord help your people build a
relationship with You from their hearts, show them that your people
and your Word is a part of You and cannot be separated from You. Lord
we pray that man sees your glory when they see You in people and your
Word...
We make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference scriptures]
Zechariah 7:4-14
4 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying,
When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those
seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for
yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7 Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the
former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and
the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and
the plain?
8 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and
shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
10 And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor
the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your
heart.
11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and
stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should
hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his
spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the
LORD of hosts.
13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not
hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom
they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man
passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
Matthew 25:34-40
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world:
35 for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye
gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in
prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?
38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and
clothed thee?
39 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these
least, ye did it unto me.

The mystery of twelve

Mark 3: 14 - And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and
that he might send them forth to preach,
Numbers play a very important part in the Bible and in studying it.
They are not that some are good numbers and others bad i.e. we cannot
say number 7 is good because it is associated with Christ and number 6
is bad because it is associated with Satan.
All numbers are good and they are for man to understand the hidden
secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven. There are many, many great and
awesome things which the Lord revealed to me by the understanding of
numbers. One of them is about Satan, who He (they) were and are.
Mind it, Satan is not what most think him (them) to be, he is an
in-habitual liar and called the father of lies, he (they) deceive to kill man.
One of the greatest revelations I received through numbers is from the
number 12. From today's scripture we read Jesus was very clear about
selecting only twelve to carry fourth His work. Even though He knew
Judas would betray and die yet He kept the numbers as 12.
After Judas died and the disciples whom Jesus selected started with
their work of building the Church they made sure they were 12 and thus
added 1 to their 11. They could have continued with 11 for there were
no ministerial berths to divide between them, nor did they add another
4 more - more the better. Mind you there was no law or commandment of God about being 12.
This they did after being baptized in the Holy Spirit, when the Spirit
of Truth revealed to them the understanding of 12.
When God chose the Israelites to be His people the sons of Israel were
12. They were divided into 12 tribes. Even when the Levites were
separated from the 12, the Lord split the tribe of Joseph into 2 to make sure 12 tribes existed.
On the dress of the High Priest Aaron were 12 stones which represented
the 12 tribes of Israel. What will amaze you (which I was some 3 years
back) is the 12 precious stones match up with the 12 precious stones
of which Heaven is made.
Heaven is not an earthly creation to be made of stones. Heaven is a spirit world (having no physical limitation). After I dug deeper in
studying the stones I started to understand they were related to the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
What kept me busy for 2years was the fact that in Galatians Paul spoke
of 9 fruits but the Tree of Life in the book of Revelation spoke of 12
fruits. It was after meditating on this for 2years (just about a month
back) the Lord revealed the understanding to me.
If one consolidates the fruit(s) of the Holy Spirit given by Paul and
with those give by Peter you will get total 12 different in a list.
Then comes the question did Paul not know about the 3? Why was there confusion between their understandings?
The answer is Paul knew and had listed the remaining 3 in Ephesians 5:9.
Then the second question came why did Paul break the list into 2 sets
of 9 and of 3?
Now that is the revelation which I will not share here on
SavedByFaith.info, not that I am becoming proud, or want to see you disturbed or suffering. What I want you to realize is there are many,
many, many awesome things in the Word of God which God has yet not
revealed to man and is waiting to do to those who thirst for Him and His Kingdom.
More than us, He wants to share these precious things of life with us.
But since they are precious (for by them we also get to grow in
authority) He wants to make sure us are build in understanding and character.
As we dedicate our lives to Jesus Christ and pass through the paths of
molding by the Spirit of God, God adds unto us great and precious things which give life and power.
While being thirsty and persistent with the Lord, also be patient and we will never be disappointed.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord God, since ages You wanted to reveal great and wonderful things
of your Kingdom to man so that they walk in light and not in darkness.
But for long man has been rejecting You, it was only when your Word
came to man and started working in man that You started revealing
Yourself and your Kingdom more and more. Satan's game plan to keep the
Word far from man has been overcome and now that we are receiving more
and more of You, work in us Lord so that your glory fill the earth...
We make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.

17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of
stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle:
this shall be the first row.
18 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
20 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall

every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.

was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and
yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

God avenges you

Daniel 6:24 - And the king commanded, and they brought those men which
had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them,
their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of
them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the
bottom of the den.
Paul in his letter tells us not to avenge but to allow God to avenge.
In today€ ’²s message the same is put showing the depth of the fury of
God when someone tries to harm or accuse a person of God.
Our God calls Himself - Jealous God. This word has nothing to do with
envy as we understand jealousy but it has to do with possessiveness.
Our God is very possessive of His people and especially of His elect.
He does not like to see them harmed in any way so when someone tries
to harm them He first saves them and revenges them. Sometimes He may
not take action against the conspirators immediately but when He
delays, He has more terrible plans and at the worst time for them.
I have many, many such testimonies which may cause a person's blood to chill.
It is very important a person is very sure when accusing another
especially a person of God. There are many a time in my life I was
given the task rebuke another Man or Woman of God. These times were
the most difficult for me because I am aware if I add any of my own
words I would have to pay dearly.
Remember our God is alive and aware of even every thought of ours. He
keeps the books of record and on the Day when we come before Him these
books will be opened and we will be judged accordingly.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord God, we pray for those who turn against your shepherds especially
those who are from your flock. Lord may your grace be upon them and
they realize and retreat from their evil ways. If they have already
done or started on their work, may they repent and may your grace and
mercy forgive them of their doings...
We make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference Scriptures]
2 Corinthians 10:3-6
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through
God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth
itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every
thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your
obedience is fulfilled.
Luke 18:17-18a
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night
unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily...
Exodus 34:14
14 (for thou shalt worship no other god: for Jehovah, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God);

The Lord does as He had devised
Lamentations 2:16-17
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss
and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly
this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
17 The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled
his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown
down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice
over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
Normally at my session I take a topic and see it through, for this I
send around 2 days preparing for it. But at yesterday at my session
since I did get time to prepare in advance I took live as to how to
churn out revelation of the scriptures by going into the Hebrew and
Greek words, its grammar etc. Yesterday's scriptures given to us, was
the 9th chapter of the book of Zechariah.
I have seen many scriptures with great information of events but
yesterday scriptures blew our lid. As we were digging through the
scriptures we were shock as the details the Lord has written in His
Word of events taking place currently. Since we were a few months in
the event we could see the accuracy of what it was written with what
had just happened. It was like reading yesterday's newspaper with the
reporter having inside access.
When we see bad events happening, we mostly think it is the work of
the devil. But we fail to realize that many a time the Lord has warned
us and since we do not adhere to the warnings the calamity falls upon
us.
Today's message is one such calamity which is the doing of the Lord.
The calamity is in its cradle stage and already many are praying to
the doer of the calamity for relief.
Dear brother and sisters in Christ there are some events which are
happening and will soon happen. These are given with such great
details in the Word of God, so much so like reading a news article.
For example yesterday at my Church we had World Prayer Day and were
praying in groups with each group given a set of points to pray. In my
group we had one point which read 'Lord, we pray for the terrorist
that they may be saved (come to know You) or else they be caught'.

Now praying such a prayer is foolish since in the Word of God it is
written that during the times we are living in certain activities will
happen and apart from famines, earthquakes and epidemics, terror is
one such thing which the Lord has allowed to come on His people (this
has not ripened yet). And the reason given is so that they may look up
to the Heavens and turn to the Lord and come to know Him.

We are such shameless (stiff neck) people that if we did not have
problems we would have done without God. It is problems which open our
eyes and turn our cries towards the Heavens.
In cases like terror we need to abide in the Lord and know Him. And
when we know Him we receive authority in Him by which we bind the
powers of the terrorist against us. We bring confusion into their
minds and they land killing their own people instead of us. We do not
eliminate the terrorist, but render their terror against us helpless.

Look at the problems surrounding you and if you find a supernatural
hand behind it, get on your knees, abide by the Word and be saved.

[Prayer Starter]
Lord God, Your Word is instructions of life to us. Lord, You have
given all that we need to know throughout creation in your Word. Lord
by your Spirit open the hearts and minds of your people that they may
understand your Word and abide by it...
This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

[Reference Scriptures]
Zechariah 9:1-10
1 The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and
Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all
the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD.
2 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it
be very wise.
3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as
the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in
the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be
very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and
the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride
of the Philistines.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his
abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he,
shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and
Ekron as a Jebusite.
8 And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of
him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no
oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with
mine eyes.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of
Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having
salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of
an ass.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from
Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak
peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to
sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

hey will know our God is a Living and Almighty God

Daniel 6:26-27
26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble
and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and
stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed,
and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in
heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the
lions.

King Darius was not a believer of Jehovah God but when he saw the
great wonder which He performed with Daniel, Darius acknowledge the
God of Daniel as a Living and Almighty God.

The times of Daniel were the times of action and wonders. During that
time there were a multitude of great Men of God and in today's time
the same situation exist.

Ever since I have been extending my network to people around, I could
see great Men of God in the making. You may not be surprise a neighbor
of 15years starts doing great wonders in the Lord's Name. These days
the unbelievers who are coming to know God are doing greater than
those who were born believers since generations.

It is the same situation as it was during the time of Daniel when the
people of God were in Babylon (a state of confusion). Like Daniel was
delivered from the lions we too will be delivered from the young lion
that controls today's Babylon.

Today as we celebrate Pentecost pray let the world be in awe of God
with His Holy fire burning in His people.


[Prayer Starter]
Lord God, You are a never changing God. Who was, is and will ever be
the same. You are true to your Word even today as You were during the
times of Abraham, Moses, David, Daniel and others. Lord Jesus let your
people show Christ in them so that the world may acknowledge there is
a Living, Almighty God and only God. Everything is by Him and through
Him and is good...

We make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.


[Reference Scriptures]
Psalms 91:9-13
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most
High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come
nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the
dragon shalt thou trample under feet.


Happy Pentecost to each one of you - May the Lord write His Word with
His Finger (Spirit) in your hearts and sprout plenty Fruit in you for
the world to see the glory of the Almighty God dwells in you.
